Thank you for that information.

After taking a closer look at your request to the /2/files/search_v2 endpoint, it appears that the the reason it’s not working as expected is that the 'query' parameter is missing from your request.

For the /2/files/search_v2 endpoint, the 'query' parameter is not optional. If you add a value to this parameter and try again, you should get a response.
